Rant: Nuke: No. Just... NO.

Sep 23, 2010 08:58

I spend a lot of time on the LuRe LJ and the Soapcentral board, discussing Luke and Reid and to some extent, Noah. Even a few weeks after Reid's death and one week after the show ended, I'm still upset, angry and bitter. I probably will be for a while, with the emphasis on BITTER. But my one silver lining in all of this, is the fact that both ( Read more... )

ILY, BB! I totally agree with everything here.

WHO SAID LUKE WAS CHECKING OUT NOAH'S ASS? ARE THEY BLIND? (HEH)

WOW.

BTW, Susan Dansby got so much grief (from both fandoms, if you can imagine that) for the epilogue, so IT'S NOT HAPPENING. YES! She's doing something else instead, which is teaching the fans how to write scripts using the soap writing process, and using Nuke(or maybe LuRe) as their characters.

Haah! LOL!
I read somewhere that a few rabbid Nuke fans were saying that Luke was checking out Noah's ass, while Noah was walking away from him at WOAK.

I heard about the cancellation of the epilogue of FAIL, YES. And apparently it's this writing course now, where you have to write the Nuke reunion XD. That actually sounds a lot better. Because I'd have hated it, if certain fans would have declared their epilogue canon.

Sheesh. He couldn't have been just staring a guy he'd loved several years walking away from him and thinking "Gee, I'm gonna miss him."

I like the idea so much better when the fans write it rather than her - IF Susan was to write it, then it becomes canon, and I'm not okay with that.

Didn't you get the memo? It's impossible for Luke to look at Noah with anything but lustful eyes, even when's he's mourning the man he loves XD.

Even with Susan Dansby as a writer, it still wouldn't really be canon, but it would be a little too close to canon, imo. It just wouldn't be fair.

You nailed it.

Basically I don't know how blind of a Nukie do you have to be to see this ending as hopeful to Nuke, and yet in comments at AE or on other boards some people keep insisting it is so.

Blind they are, I tell you.

Unfortunately the best neurosurgeon of the world is gon, so they'll stay that way.

Thank you<3!

Some people feel like pretending certain scenes, like "We are not right for each other" and "If I wanted to be with Noah, I would move to LA with him" didn't happen at all.

Apparently, Noah macking on Luke's face, while Grieving!Luke's hands stayed in his pockets and didn't even respond to the kiss, is enough reason to assume that they'll get back together....

If some fans believe that Nuke will get back together at one point, then I have the same right to believe that they'll stay the hell away from each other for the rest of their lives and that Reid faked his death XD.

Well i believe real Reid was abducted by aliens who exchanged him with a clone that gave the heart to Chris, and even wrote a fic about it. Which- as we know- like any other fic ignoring or overriding the evi...official ending is the true!canon *nods head*

Oooooh, ALIENS! OMG, that totally makes perfect sense!

That, or he will do what he did in Rhiannonhero's EPIC "Raise up, heart" fic.

And a part of me is convinced he's being held captive by Damian =)!

CANON is what we make of it, lol!

But my one silver lining in all of this, is the fact that both fanbases got screwed over.

I know that's pretty selfish, but I feel the same way.

I saw nothing in their final scenes that indicates a Nuke reunion in the future.

NGL, as I wrote here, the way Luke sort of leaned up into the kiss/didn't push Noah away really bothered me, but some people's thoughts (mainly, their suggesting Luke only let Noah kiss him as a goodbye sort of thing) made me feel marginally better about it.

What made me feel even better about it, however, was Luke's face both after the kiss and, earlier on, when Noah made that comment about WOAK being the place where they'd also shared their first kiss.

Which isn't to say that I didn't find that kiss so utterly wrong (and in poor taste) on so many levels!

there are still people who claim that Luke is still into Noah, was checking out his ass when Noah left

BWAHAHAHA! BRB LOLing MYSELF TO DEATH!

I'm as much of a pessimist as they come, but even I find that ridiculous! XD

and that writing an epilogue (by ( ... )

YOU DO KNOW THAT YOU WRITE THE MOST EPIC COMMENTS EVER, RIGHT???

I really take comfort in the fact that the Nukies got screwed over as well. And yes, our guy DIED, but at least our guy was Luke’s first choice. Luke was IN LOVE with REID<3333. Noah = DEFAULT choice. It doesn’t say much about their relationship, if it’s only based on the fact that they’re both alive and gay.

I actually thought Luke looked really exhausted and just wanted Noah to leave already. And it really was a goodbye kiss. Luke didn’t respond to it, imo and he looked pretty damn uncomfortable.

Sorry about the belated reply, bb, but I didn't want to write a rushed one and I had to go grape picking with my parents, yesterday... ^^''

HAHAHA, I TRY. All jokes aside, you're too sweet. And I'm glad I did because I missed chatting with you! I know I hardly ever post, but I hope we won't drift apart just because ATWT is over. *hugs* Oh well, hopefully my Prison Break rewatch will also help once I get around to doing it. ;D

.:cacklesnort:.

the fact that NOAH even considered kissing him and then actually did, while LUKE IS STILL GRIEVING, BECAUSE THE MAN HE’S IN LOVE WITH DIED A FEW DAYS AGO, did bother me.

I can't bring myself to blame Noah for wanting to, because, after all, you're not ( ... )

Like the fact that Luke and Reid didn’t go bowling or didn’t go see a movie, says anything about the status of their relationship. Please.

Deep down, I know it doesn't, because they knew the important parts about each other, after all; still, IMHO, it was such a (397th!) slap in the face! Not only did they have to make the fact that LuRe didn't make love (I know it sounds cheesy, but that's what I believe it would have been) canon - when it could have been left to off-screen speculation - (and in front of Noah, no less!), but they even had to take our chance of picturing them at the movies together (or something like that) away from us!

Can you say GIANT, COLOSSAL, EPIC FAIL?!
